will conduct compliance

activities to facilitate awareness

of and compliance

with State

or Tribal requirements

governing

the conduct

of renovationsjJj]i. The program

began conducting

outreach

on

a wide

scale

in the spring

of 2009, conducting

statewide

public meetings

that covered

both changes

to the Department’s

asbestos

rule

and information

on
the upcoming EPA/State

RRP regulations.

Six meetings

were

held around

the state attended

by nearly

1,000 people.

Over

600

of those aftending

were general renovation contractors

and trades,

not certified

asbestos

or lead contractors.

Since

then, program

staff

has presented

at many conferences

and association

meetings,
including

the statewide apartment

owners association

meeting, statewide

building inspectors conference, and

the statewide Environmental

Health/Look

Out

for Lead conference. See Appendix

C for

a complete

list

of outreach presentations

already conducted or planned

for 2009. Plans

are

in place

to continue outreach

efforts, including informational

mailings or emailings

to persons

already certified

as lead abatement supervisors

and workers

(about

725), persons certified

as lead-safe

workers

(about

600), persons trained

as lead-safe

workers

but

not certified

(about
4,500),

and persons
licensed by the Department

of Commerce

as Dwelling Contractors,

Plumbers, Electricians,

HVAC

or other trades affected

by the rule (12,000+). Articles

are being developed

to

go into various organizational

newsletters, including

the Children’s

Health Alliance

of Wisconsin

(CHAW),

various

local

and statewide apartment associations,

and

the Wisconsin

Builder’s Association

and local NARI chapters.

The

first

is set

to

go into

the October newsletter

of CHAW. Plans

are also underway

to conduct

a second

round

of statewide informational meetings

in early

2010

to explain

the regulations

and

do question

& answer sessions.

An earlier

round

of public meetings

held

in March

and April

of 2009 brought

in nearly

1,000 people

at

6 locations

to learn about

the upcoming

RRP regulations.ll.B.4.b.ComplianceandEnforcementProgram-FinalApproval:SamplingTechniques(‘745.327(c)(3))PleasedescribehowtheStateorTribehasthetechnolocEAt4pabzlitytoensurecompliancewiththeRenovationProgramrequirementsTheprogramhaspoliciesandproceduresforallcomplianceinvestigationactivities,includingenvironmentalsamplingofdust,paintandsoilandforuseofanaccreditedlaboratorywithacomprehensivequalitycontrolprogram.TheleadprogramusestheStateLaboratoryofHygiene,OccupationalHealthLaboratoryfortestingitsenvironmentalsamples.TheprogramfollowsitsQualityManagementPlan(QMP)developedbythedepartmentandapprovedbyEPARegion5onOctober6,2005.Detailedinformationonthestatelaboratory’sprogramisavailableintheQMPonfilewithEPARegion5.(QMPapprovalletterattachedinAppendixD)PertheQMPandtheAsbestosandLeadProgramEnforcementPolicyManual,staffusesdocumentedprotocolstoperformallsamplingactivities.Thesemayinclude:DocumentedmethodologiesarerequiredandaredefinedinChapterHFS163as“writtenprotocols,standardsormethodsthataregenerallyusedandacceptedforconductingregulatedactivities.”Fordust-wipesampling,programstaffuses:1995HUDGuidelinesfortheEvaluationandControlforLead-BasedPaintHazardsinHousing(Ch.5,“RiskAssessment,”Ch.15,“Clearance,”andApp.13.1“WipeSamplingforSettledLead-ContaminatedDust.”Forpaintchipsampling:1995HUDGuidelinesfortheEvaluationandControlforLead-BasedPaintHazardsinHousing,App.13.2,“PaintChipSampling.”Forsoilsampling:1995HUDGuidelinesfortheEvaluationandControlforLead-BasedPaintHazardsinHousing,App.13.3,“SoilSamplingProtocolforHousing.”Otheracceptabledocumentedmethodsaredescribedin:EPAGuidanceonResidentialLead-BasedPaintHazardsinHousing•EPAGuidanceonResidentialLead-BasedPaint,Lead-ContaminatedDustandLead-ContaminatedSoilEPAResidentialSamplingforLead:ProtocolsforDustandSoilSampling(EPAreportnumber7474-R-95-OO1,March1995)WIChildhoodLeadPoisoningPreventionandControlHandbookEnforcementpersonnelmaintaintheirLeadRiskAssessorcertificationsandmaintaintheirsamplingskills.TheprogramownsandmaintainsanXRFmachine,NitonXL-309,foruseinidentifyinglead-basedpaintedsurfacesandhasandmaintainsXRFlicensingwiththestate.Theprogramfollowsthemanufacturer’suseinstructions,includingleaktestingandsourcereplacement.Theprogrammaintainsthenecessarysuppliestoconductdust-wipeandsoilsamplingandusesthestate’sOccupationalHealthLaboratory(WOflljintheStateLaboratoryofHygiene,whichisNLLAP-accreditedandfollowsitsownqualityassuranceprogramasdescribedintheQMPdocuments.ll.B.4.b.

Follow Up

to Inspection

Reports (‘74&327(c)(6)) Please describe

how

the State

or Tribe

has

the ability

to process

and follow-up

on inspection

reports

and other information

generated

through enforcement-related activities: See Appendix

A, P115 Asbestos

and Lead Program Enforcement

Policy Manual,

Pages 13—15. After

each onsite inspection,

the inspector

records

all observations

not already documented,

prepares

any samples

for delivery

to the state laboratory,

and saves and labels

any photos

taken,

enters

the inspection

report, including

all site observations

and statements

taken,

into WALDO

(the database)

and

also enters whether

and what

types

of potential violations

were observed. Information

is then shared

with

the enforcement

coordinator

who

also starts

a WALDO enforcement

action

entry

and begins tracking

the case.

The WALDO

data entries become

the inspection

report

along

with

any other documentation

such

as lab results

or photographs. The Enforcement

Team

meets bi-weekly

to review

all new

and other

open cases, where

eacb inspector

shares

their

cases

and

the team makes decisions

about proceeding

with

an action, including determining

what

level

and type

of action

to take.

The team

and

the

EC

use

the program’s Enforcement

Policy Manual

to assist

in determining

appropriate enforcement

actions. Depending

on the case,

it will either

go

to the inspector

or the enforcement

coordinator

(EC)

for follow-up investigation

or directly

to the

EC

for development

of

a written

Notice

of Non compliance.

The

EC tracks

all cases

from opening

to close-out

so that none

are left dormant

and brings

an updated

list

of

all cases

to each Enforcement

Team meeting

for review.

The program

has found

that having

one person responsible for tracking

all enforcement

cases generated

by
the work

unit

has resulted

in better management

of cases overall

and helps ensure

timely processing

and better recordkeeping. Inspection

and enforcement

activities

are reported regularly

to EPA Region

5
as part

of lead grant reporting

and

lead program quarterly
